The Dallas Cowboys have a new offensive lineman

The draft may be the thing that is on everyone’s mind in the NFL, but free agency is a year-round activity, not just a few weeks in March. The Dallas Cowboys aren’t finished in free agency, adding another name to the roster. After working out offensive lineman Saahdiq Charles a few days ago, the Cowboys will sign him to a one-year contract.

Charles is coming out of retirement after leaving the game last year during training camp with the Tennessee Titans. He was originally a fourth-round pick by Washington. He started 18 games for the team, and participated in 35 games during his four years with the franchise. He signed with the Titans in free agency last year, and was even given a starting guard designation, but he abruptly retired.

The Cowboys have depth questions on their offensive line, while also looking to replace Zack Martin at guard. Earlier in free agency they signed Robert Jones who also plays guard, so the team is providing plenty of competition for Brock Hoffman as they look to solidify the right side.
